New camera + snow!

[Gildstar]

Bought a DSLR(canon 1100D) always wanted to get into photography and ended up buying one yesterday for an early birthday present for myself and it just happened to snow thought I'd take advantage of that and put my nooby skills to the test lol don't be too hard on the criticism please , only one of the 10 I took turned out okay, any hints or tips are appreciated

I would start with manual focus m8y....not the best conditions to start with tho

Tripod?

Incase you're interested there's a Groupon deal in the Bristol area (advertised today) for 3.5 hour DSLR photography lesson for £35.... pretty cheap and would definite aid with your new purchase

Shoot in RAW, get a tripod and get photoshop to sort the white balance. Will make your pictures look epic.

3rd pictures the best! Don't get the other two? I've got an slr camera and I'm yet to know how to work it. I just press auto and shoot away. Silly me

He should have the Canon software with his camera, can alter the white balance with that.

I agree with above comments though. RAW, tripod and some editing software. Lightroom, Photoshop and the likes

Snow is easy TBH.

This was taken about 5 minutes ago.

10mm, ISO 100, f/13, 30 seconds, 2500K.

/done

No point shooting RAW + jpg - you'll end up with a load of jpgs you never use/look at/do anything with at all. Just edit and convert those you need to into jpgs for uploading after...

I wish it would stop snowing. I hate the stuff but if it's here i'd like to go get some nice shot's of it. Can't though because it's like a bloody blizzard! Lol.

You'll want to expose with 1/3rd to 2/3rds extra exposure as well else you'll end up with grey snow.
